In 2000, trade volume between China and Russia was only $8 billion. Thanks to the unremitting efforts of both countries, bilateral trade volume was raised to US $95 billion 300 million in 2014. In recent years, the volume of trade between China and Russia has declined due to factors such as sluggish world economy and depressed international oil prices. In the current world economic recovery is weak, protectionism, trade between the two countries at the beginning of this year to achieve rapid growth, it is not easy.
In an interview with Russian media, Chinese ambassador to Russia Li Hui said that China Russia economic and trade cooperation is showing a good momentum of positive development. When Russian ambassador to China Denisov recently spoke of cooperation with China, he also said that relations between Russia and China have made rapid progress in various fields in recent years. Both ambassadors believe that even if the current global economic situation is not smooth enough, bilateral trade between China and Russia still has the potential to reach the goal of $200 billion by the heads of state of the two countries by 2020.

The two countries should cultivate new energy trade between China and Russia, the Russian import substitution policy should be docking, docking Russia across the Eurasian railway and Mongolia and Russia economic corridor construction, pay attention to build two division system of industry chain, increase efforts to promote intra industry trade.
